Gee, Rep. Cummings. Ya think?
@ABCPolitics @RepCummings It has *always* been "up to" Congress to do that.

@ABCPolitics that's always been the role of Congress, sir @RepCummings

@ABCPolitics @RepCummings Yeah, that's sort of that whole point of a system of checks & balances

@ABCPolitics @RepCummings it's always been the job of Congress to check the executive branch. Haven't you ever taken a US government class?

@ABCPolitics @RepCummings Always delightful when Democrats suddenly rediscover the #constitution

It’s great that a Democratic congressman is acknowledging that we have a system of checks and balances. But it would’ve been a whole lot nicer if Dems had given a crap about its importance for the past eight years.

@ABCPolitics @RepCummings So now you want to act as a check? After you spent 8 years running interference for the executive?
— Taro Tsujimoto (@RCannon74) January 11, 2017
@ABCPolitics Hysterical that it never occurred to @RepCummings to act as a check on the executive for the last 8 years.

@ABCPolitics @RepCummings As opposed to the last eight years when the Executive Orderer In Chief shredded the checks & balances system?
